tree planting

Help our new trees and shrubs planted in March survive through their first summer season! As a volunteer you'll learn native plant identification and care techniques with Friends of Trees staffers and volunteers, as well as help maintain the new native plants through mulching recently planted trees and shrubs. Without these efforts these newly planted natives would have a lower survival rate through their first season. Meet great new people, learn tree skills, and make a difference in just a couple hours!

Please arrive around 5:15pm to sign in and get assigned to a crew. The tree care event will start promptly at 5:30pm. We'll provide some snacks and cool beverages, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes and get ready to have fun!
